Near the end of his book, Bad Religion, Ross Douthat notes that during the four times in history that Christianity itself seems to have been threatened with (temporary) extinction, two things have brought it back: holy living and the arts.
One Mother Theresa speaks volumes more than all the books written answering the new atheists.
One Pope Francis or one Dr. Kent Brantly, or one of you does more for the church than all the programs directed at the “spiritual but not religious”.
We are the Church. We are the Body of Christ. How we live is the message of Christ to the world.
The arts can communicate the voice of God in a way that touches people through a common culture.
What can you bring to the proclamation of Christ, and him crucified?
You are the light of the world. Be you!
